facebook ios sdk - First dialog after authenticating fails immediately and closes dialog

Question

I'm using the latest Facebook SDK on iOS 5. I can use SSO to successfully authenticate the user, and then I attempt to share a link like this:

NSString *appId = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] 
                                          objectForKey:TSFacebookAppID];

NSMutableDictionary* params = 
[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                          appId,                @"app_id",
                          [url absoluteString], @"link
                          title,                @"caption",
                          body,                 @"description",
                          nil];

[facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];

The first time I attempt this, the dialog appears and immediately closes, calling the dialog:didFailWithError:error delegate method. The error is:

Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -999.)"

However, subsequent attempts to share the link work fine.

Just an update for everyone, it's finally assigned to somebody at Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/168127053284477 - hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Meanwhile, somebody sent a pull request on github with a fix: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/pull/436

Hope it helps someone, as I was still facing the same bug..
